How can I listen to mp3 files?
Files that have .mp3 extension can be listened using an mp3 player
software. The most common mp3 player software is winamp.
I made an mp3 search and downloaded a file by clicking on it
on the results page. But the file has .ps extension, is .ps a new
compressed music file format?
No, .ps is not a new compressed music file format. Many mp3
site/page owners encounter difficulties to find a server to host
their mp3 files. So they rename .mp3 to .ps (or .zip, .bin, .class,
etc) to prevent their music files from being deleted automatically
by the server admins/owners. When you download a file with the .ps
extension, try renaming the file to *.mp3 and then test it.
I changed the file extension to .mp3 but still it's not working?
Then try changing the extension to .zip and test the file with
an archive program like winzip or winrar.
Okay, I made the file extension .zip and it works with winzip
but asks for a password?
Some mp3 sites owners use password protection for their music
files and publish that password on their web pages. Since the files
you download using Mp3INT.com are not hosted on our servers, we
have no chance to know the passwords. If the file you downloaded
requires a password, and this password is not given on the download
page, please visit the mp3 site that provides a file or contact
the site owner. And please use the reporting system to warn us and
the other users about the situation.
I couldn't find the mp3 requests page?
This is because there's no mp3 requests page, and never will
be. Mp3INT.com is a search engine, it's not a peer to peer file
sharing system, or a music trading software.
Why would i prefer a web search engine instead of napster? (or
morpheus,etc)
Napster is a file sharing/trading software(and so is morpheus,etc)
created to help users to exchange their files.Using Napster, you
might have many unfinished downloads just because the user providing
the file might disconnect,or stop the transfer (that's what usually
happens to us). But mp3 files that are located on a web server do
not disappear easily, and you encounter no problems like provider
side disconnection, or too slow downloads. Anyway, it's for sure
that you'll have to look for new solutions for your mp3 needs after
noticing that you can't find any popular stuff on napster just because
of the filtering system which is forced by music companies.
What about Gnutella? or cuteMX?
Gnutella and cuteMX are also peer to peer file sharing utilities,
so the problems while downloading a file using napster may also
be encountered while using gnutella or cuteMX. Also, all though
none is known by now, these softwares/interfaces might cause security
leaks (remember Gates telling about how secure was winblows?).
is .mp3 illegal?
.mp3 is a file format, and no file format can be classified
as legal or illegal. The reason that the music companies hate .mp3
(and yell about it) is just because this format is commonly used
for music files that are being shared/traded by users (why? think
about compression ratios :) ). Most of these traded files are songs
of popular artists/bands. Naturally,such leaks are not tolerated
in the music industry, where we're talking about billions of dollars.
I've purchased an item (CD/DVD/book/mp3 player/motorbike/Eyeliner/etc)
that was suggested ny mp3INT.com, but the item is not working. Now
what?
mp3INT.com is not selling any goods at all, we just suggest
the stuff we like to our users. So, please contact the sponsor that
you've purchased the item from.
Do you check the mp3 files?
Yes. Any file added to our database by a user is checked at
the time it's submitted. Also, the broken links and not working
files, that are noticed on the periodical checks based on the reporting
system,are removed from the database at once.
